File:Enaliarctos2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
http://www.ehbook.co.kr/ could be not a valid source link which is like adding Amazon link. The webpage does not show anything about the book. Even if the book exists, I ask you to provide "direct original quote" with English translation to its talk page since that book seems to be written in Korean. I guess you have the book and can read Korean, so that would be no problem for the demand at all. Unless, this matter is verified, please do not engage in edit warring to restore your addition. Placing the content about the early 1900s in the first paragraph of the thread seems to be also POV. -- Caspian blue 13:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi there,
I didn't realize I had this message before changing back the edit. The book, which I do in fact have with me, is written in English. I have provided a direct quote of from the book in the footnotes, citing the appropriate page. Best regards, -- Gavinhudson ( talk) 13:57, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Gavin Hudson
The world needs to be more cognizant of Asia and the internet revolution is the best way to connect globally. ....AsianInfo.org was founded by K. Lee in 1999 and he remains the webmaster. AsianInfo.org was founded by K. Lee in 1999 and he remains the webmaster. It is his vision to bridge the gap between Asia and the West. In order to do this, he has contacts within some of the U.S. government agencies and many of the embassies in Washington, D.C. Most of these embassies have agreed with his vision and help in various ways. AsianInfo.org does not guarantee the complete accuracy of the information provided on this site or links.
P.S. You have twice now unjustifiably completely deleted my contribution to the page. As I have explained, the book was written in English and I have provided direct quotations. These are located in the footnotes. For example, see [1]. On AsiaInfo, the web page linked [2] to cites "Information provided by the Korean Embassy." I have also bolstered the information with another internal link to a page on Wikipedia. I appreciate that you wish the information here to be accurate, but without other reasons for your actions any further deletions of large portions of text will be considered vandalism— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavinhudson ( talk • contribs)
You obviously have very strong feelings on this article, so let's reach an agreement. Your suggestion that AsiaInfo misrepresented themselves may not be justified, but it's not unreasonable. I will delete the reference to the 1862 revolt, which is the only edit I made that has AsiaInfo as its sole source. However, I see no reason for you to delete the information added from the book "The Dawn of Modern Korea" nor from the website of the Korea Foundation [3], which is also listed as a source on the Wikipedia page describing the Donghak Peasant Revolution, nor from the other Wikipedia article on Hong Gyeong-nae. Does that sound reasonable?
That sounds fair. I have removed the link to AsiaInfo as well as all information obtained there. (This is what you meant by the "commercial link," isn't it?) I will also add an additional encyclopedia link to verify the information about the Hong Gyeong-nae rebellion. The Koreana link is in footnote #5. It links to the Korea Foundation, a quarterly affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavinhudson ( talk • contribs)
Gavin, as you've probably noticed by now, our dear friend Caspian has a history of bans for getting out of hand about Korean topics. Please take any advice from him with a liberal dose of kimchi. Jpatokal ( talk) 14:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at WP:ANI#User:Jpatokal - racial slur and harassment regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Jpatokal ( talk · contribs)'s disruptive personal attacks that require administrators' attention. Thank you. -- Caspian blue 04:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Roots & Shoots requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
